What exactly is the purpose of Anderson? Like I’m not even fucking joking he’s been a fucking ugly statue for 6 years now. United have paid him upwards of 20m in that span. Why the fuk did we not
Replace him. Fucking piss take he must be laughing all the way to the bank

……Giggs……starting……why not just put Jones in there and Smalling in the back, much better than Giggs, who if he’s starting it needs to be in the 10 role. Hopefully Giggs has an amazing game and makes me look a fool, but no balance in this team on paper, need to switch Roo’s and Kags positions, Roo is the shittiest 10 in the team, maybe the best forward but god awful 10.

Paul scholes jr.. I like herrera too. I’m still not saying fabregas is a no. There has to be a bigggg reason why we waited so long to buy fellaini. That tells me we could have got a hugeeee alternative. Also with iniesta taking so long to sign a new contract that tells me someone is unsettled. Either iniesta wants out or fabregas wants out and he’s getting more game time cause of it. The thing is herrera will just get scape goated by the shitty fans above our comments when he dosnt gel straight away. I say we take the £30 million it would cost to buy herrera and invest it into a project to build a cloning machine and get 3 scholes’!!!

Anderson recently played an U-21 game for United as one of the permitted overaged players. So he has seen some action, probably not at the required level, but some action nonetheless.

So it is very possible he is also being rested at this point, however….I love Ando, and love the joviality and enthusiasm he brings. He thrusts from the middle more than any of our midfielders, it just that he is not that accurate and has fitness problems…the bell might have rung on his time at United.

Have to think Moyes will bring on Januzaj later in the second half and give him 20 min to press. He looked beat at the end of the game Saturday, but hopefully the adrenaline from playing in is first CL game will give him a boost. I’m sure Moyes will find a way to blame Kagawa when Giggs falls apart early.

Januazj is 18 years old. He looked knackered and lost possession more than usual once Soton was increasing the pressure past the hour mark. As talented as he is, he’s a teenager and must be looked after and put in places to succeed more than other.

ah the ol’ experience nonsense, how is anyone to gain experience if you only want people with experience? the younger/newer players have to get experience at some point and swapping a single player for someone with little to no experience is not a big deal. Its not like Rooney, Carrick are new to the CL. Slow midfield is slow, having experience isn’t going to quicken Carrick/Giggs legs, but hopefully they still kill it and i’ll be fine looking stupid and a cunt.

If the only thing Jones will do is close down players, then fuck it, have me out there and I’ll chase shadows for the cause.

Jones is playing where he belongs and that’s as a center defenseman. Carrick is slow, but he’s quicker in space and reads the game better than Fellani or Jones. Notice how fast and quick are different. Giggsy knows how to use someone’s aggresiveness and speed against them by getting them of balance.

Whatever, we’ll see what happens. But Giggs and Carrick will have to operate collectively as a midfield pair and the team will defend as a unit for once. Valencia will pinch in the middle for defensive support.

no need to be patronizing, im am aware of the difference of quickness to sprint speed, but Jones is a hell of a lot quicker than either player in our midfield, i agree he is a CB but Giggs sure the hell aint a CM. We’ve started well and i hope my fears are me being pessimistic, but our lack of athleticism in the middle has gotten us in trouble millions of times since Hargreaves fell to pieces.
